Refining Qi starts from repairing the panel

There are many mountains and hills in the southeast of Qingyun Realm. The highest mountain in Qingyun Realm, Qingtian Peak, is where Yuxuan Palace is located.

Qingtian Peak is more than 27,540 feet high. The entire mountain looks like a sharp sword soaring into the sky. The top of the peak is covered with snow all year round and is extremely cold.

For most Qi practitioners, the cave gate will be located at a high place. The same goes for Yuxuan Palace, which is located at the top of the mountain. This place is closest to the sun and moon, and has many benefits for practice.

Although compared to the span of the universe, the difference between the various heights of the peaks is negligible, but the essence of the sun and moon at high places has not been contaminated by turbidity and will ultimately be purer.

When Chu Zheng arrived here, it was noon, the sun was high, and the entire Qingtian Peak was dyed with a faint layer of light, exuding a refreshing and refreshing atmosphere.

Surrounded by spiritual springs between the mountains, there is a spiritual mist condensed from the essence of heaven and earth, which is like a holy land of immortals.

Chu Zheng took a casual glance and saw many rare birds and auspicious animals among the ancient forests on the mountain peaks. He must have been attracted by the aura of the Qi Refiners.

Not to mention the auspicious beasts in the forest, even Chu Zheng himself felt that his mind was much clearer, he temporarily forgot his worries, and felt relaxed and happy for a while.

After looking at it for a while, Chu Zheng did not climb directly to the top of the mountain. Instead, he landed at the foot of the mountain and climbed slowly towards the top of the mountain.

Always show some etiquette when visiting someone unexpectedly.

Chu Zheng was not in a hurry and climbed the mountain slowly. When he was near the top of the mountain, fine snow fell from the sky.

Walking against the wind and snow all the way to the top of the mountain, before Chu Zheng's eyes, there were more than ten green brick and tile houses without any pavilions and palaces. The tiles were covered with ice and snow, shrouded in a layer of frost.

There is no trace of the formation of magic circles around. Everything is the original appearance of heaven and earth, simple and pure.

In fact, most Qi practitioners lead a very poor life. Since they don’t have many disciples, they rarely spend extra time collecting and reserving cultivation resources other than their own cultivation expenses. Under normal circumstances, the essence of the sun and moon is enough for cultivation. required.

Although the cultivation level will not grow very fast in this way, the growth of calamity energy will not be exaggerated and will be easier to deal with.

The reason why Chu Zheng's calamity has always been difficult to deal with is because his cultivation has improved too quickly. In twenty years, he has walked a path that others can walk in hundreds or even thousands of years. How can it be smooth sailing and everything goes smoothly? .

His eyes swept across the blue brick house, Chu Zheng bowed his hands and spoke slowly:

"Qi Refiner Chu Zheng has come to pay homage to all of you, and I hope you will not hesitate to meet me."

squeak--

There was movement from the tile-roofed room in the middle. The slightly old wooden door slowly opened and a middle-aged Taoist walked out.

He is about forty years old, wearing a gray Taoist robe, with a Taoist bun, a square face, a vertical mark between his eyebrows, which looks like a heavenly eye, and a pair of thick-soled black cloth shoes.

[Kuang Yuanshan (seventh level): Hedao realm Qi practitioner, Taoist name Xu Jingzi, minoring in alchemy and talismans, has experienced seventy-four calamities, and there was one calamity not long ago. The blood and Qi have not recovered, and there are injuries in the body. , repairable (0/3). 】

Kuang Yuanshan is not the strongest person in Yuxuan Palace. There is an immortal lurking here, and Chu Zheng can sense it.

However, based on Chu Zheng's current cultivation level, he was not qualified to have such a person go out to greet him in person.

Except for Kuang Yuanshan, there was no movement from the rest of the blue brick buildings, and there was a dead silence.

Obviously, judging from the current situation, Yuxuan Palace does not welcome Chu Zheng's arrival.

Chu Zheng was not surprised by this. Most Qi practitioners did not like trouble unless necessary.

Kuang Yuanshan came forward probably because he had just experienced the tribulation and would not cause more trouble due to the tribulation energy.

Kuang Yuanshan looked at Chu Zheng, his eyes were as calm as water, and after returning the salute with fists in his hands, he got straight to the point:

"Fellow Taoist, you are polite. Why are you here today?"

"I'm so rash to bother you, but I still want to see Haihan."

Chu Zheng did not mean to beat around the bush and said bluntly:

"Chu came from an unorthodox Taoist sect. He didn't have a famous teacher to guide him. He occasionally got the fragments of his predecessors' scrolls. He has been struggling until now. He has many doubts and would like to ask fellow Taoists for advice."

Before coming to Yuxuan Palace, he had already sealed off his immortal magic power, suppressed his Qi, and only showed his cultivation in the early stage of the Return to Void Realm, in order to make these Qi Refiners less repulsive.

"The visitor is a guest. Fellow Taoist comes in to talk."

Kuang Yuanshan said nothing and raised his hand to signal.

Chu Zheng thanked him and followed Kuang Yuanshan into the tile-roofed house.

The room was as warm as spring and not very spacious. It was several feet across and separated by several small rooms. The air was filled with a medicinal fragrance, mixed with the energy of various elixirs.

The wooden door inside was not closed tightly, revealing a corner of the alchemy furnace, with a spiritual fire burning under the furnace.

Kuang Yuanshan is refining an elixir. Judging from the permeating fragrance of the medicine, it should be a healing elixir that nourishes the body and strengthens the body.

"I'm disturbing my fellow Taoist." Chu Zheng complained.

Kuang Yuanshan didn't care, and waved his hand: "It's not a disturbance, there are not many people coming on weekdays, so my fellow Taoist can pass some time here."

Before he finished speaking, he led Chu Zheng into the side room. Judging from the layout, it should be a tea room.

A black and white crane was curled up on the ground, sleeping with its eyes closed.

Kuang Yuanshan stepped forward and opened the window. The wind and snow brought a breeze into the room. Then he turned around to make tea, then turned around and kicked the crane awake:

"Go and pick one or two Lingyuan treasure leaves. I want to entertain guests."

The crane stood up unsteadily, flapped its wings and flew out of the window. After a moment, it turned back, holding a few green branches and leaves in its mouth.

Kuang Yuanshan took the branches and leaves, plucked off the green leaves, and put them into the boiling tea. After a while, he poured two cups of spiritual tea and said casually:

"This tea must be picked freshly, so that it tastes the best. Thank you for waiting for a long time."

After that, he pushed a cup of spiritual tea in front of Chu Zheng, and the hot mist became clouds.

Chu Zheng took it and took a sip. When the tea passed through his throat, he did not feel the abundant spiritual energy, but his mind relaxed involuntarily in an instant and was relieved a lot.

For a moment, Chu Zheng's eyes lit up slightly, and he couldn't help but praise:

"Good tea."

After a round of greetings, Chu Zheng immediately began to ask Kuang Yuanshan about some news about the Qi Refiner.

For example, the most critical disaster of the Qi Refiner.

Kuang Yuanshan did not hide anything, but directly started talking about the situation of Yuxuan Palace.

When a Qi-refining practitioner enters the world and experiences tribulations, it is easy to bring disaster to the master. Many Qi-refining practitioners in Yuxuan Palace do not choose to experience tribulations in their homeland, but go to other great realms through various methods.

Although this method is troublesome, the risk is relatively small. If you are not careful, you will die outside the realm due to the tribulation, and the impact on your master and old friends is also minimal.

This is also a last resort, because the impact of tribulations is too complex and changeable, and it is easy to get out of control.

In addition to Nie Longhu, Kuang Yuanshan is the first Qi-refining practitioner that Chu Zheng has come into contact with. After a contact, he is not much different from what he imagined.

During the conversation, Kuang Yuanshan never took the initiative to inquire about his news. Most of the Qi-refining practitioners who can practice to this level are not very curious. It is not that they do not want to know, but simply do not want to cause trouble.

Being curious means that it is easy to cause trouble. For Qi-refining practitioners, this means that it is easy to suffer unexpected disasters.

Not to mention being curious about Chu Zheng's secrets, they were actually not very welcoming to Chu Zheng's sudden visit today.

The reason why Kuang Yuanshan came out to receive them was probably because they didn't want to make people hate him for no reason because of some etiquette reasons.

After listening to Kuang Yuanshan's experience of experiencing tribulations, Chu Zheng couldn't help but wonder: "Daoyou, have you ever used the method of incarnation to experience tribulations?"

"Incarnation to experience tribulations?"

Kuang Yuanshan was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "That kind of method can only be done by those who are above the Golden Immortal. It is not an easy thing to enter the mountain gate of such a person. Even if you get the method, it is very difficult."

Hearing this, Chu Zheng couldn't help but be surprised. He had never thought that the method of incarnation to experience tribulations would have such a high threshold. It was not available to people who were not Golden Immortals.

When he had contact with Nie Longhu before, Nie Longhu had not mentioned this to him.

Gathering his thoughts, Chu Zheng probed: "Daoyou, have you ever heard of Beiling Jinxian?"

"Of course, he is one of the top masters under the Taiqing Hunyuan Daojun. He ranks sixth among the nine sons of Taiqing and lives in Taiqing Heaven all year round. Even the people in the main line of my Yuxuan Palace rarely see him."

When mentioning Beiling Jinxian, Kuang Yuanshan's eyes also showed some envy. Daojun is already the pinnacle of the entire Dao sect. At most, there are only three of them, who are truly legendary existences that have been passed down through the ages, second only to Daozu.

If you can worship under such a person, even if you fail in the tribulation and fall to death, Jinxian will have the means to recall the remaining soul, so that you can have a chance to start over.

Chu Zheng suppressed his surprise. The status of Beiling Jinxian and Taiqing Hunyuan Daojun was somewhat beyond his expectations. This is almost the pinnacle of the pinnacle of the Ten Thousand Worlds. Nie Longhu's background is quite strong.

Fortunately, he did not have direct contact with him, otherwise it would be hard to say what the situation is now.

Chu Zheng suddenly thought of a person who made him unable to see any trace. After a slight hesitation, he still asked:

"Fellow Daoist Kuang, how much do you know about Daozu?"

Kuang Yuanshan poured a cup of tea and shook his head slowly:

"Fellow Daoist, you are joking. With my insignificant Daoist skills, how dare I mention the word "know" to Daozu? I have only heard some legends about Daozu."

When mentioning Daozu, his eyes lit up for a moment.

How terrifying it is to monopolize 25% of the destiny. Now the universe, Xianwu and the two paths, each of them only occupy 20% of the destiny. One person alone suppresses one path. At this level, his specific strength is impossible to guess.

More importantly, Daozu is a Qi refiner, which represents the pinnacle that a Qi refiner can reach. How can it not make people yearn for it.

"I know very little about the legend of Daozu. I hope that fellow Daoist will tell me." Chu Zheng's eyes lit up slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little curious.

He had heard the word Daozu countless times. It seemed that no matter where he was, there were people who knew Daozu and knew the weight of these two words. No one dared to despise it.

"What I know is also some fragments of words passed down at that time."

Kuang Yuanshan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was lost in memories, and murmured:

"Daozu was a figure in the ancient times. At that time, the universe was in chaos. There was a Taoist dispute. Many Taoist sects fought each other for the destiny, and many of them were destroyed."

"The strongest forces at that time were also the immortal and martial arts. The ancestor of the ancient immortals was still there. The immortals occupied half of the universe. The martial arts were slightly inferior, but they also occupied more than 30% of the destiny. The destiny occupied by all the remaining Taoist sects was less than 20% in total. A full-scale war was like hitting a rock with an egg."

"In the melee, Daozu suddenly appeared, fought a big battle with the immortal ancestor, severely damaged him, and then was jointly killed by the immortals and martial arts."

"The Taoist Ancestor was alone and weak. Someone helped him open the door of time and space. He found helpers from the future. In that battle, flesh and blood corpses filled one star field after another. In the end, the ancestor of the ancient immortal fell, and the strong man in the martial arts ancestral realm, Three people were killed, and Tianyun was able to collapse and reorganize."

"The ancient history before this battle has been completely buried, and no information has been passed down. The only thing that is clear is that the Taoist ancestor is not dead. When he reappeared hundreds of millions of years later, he already held 30% of the destiny."

"After that, it was about the division of destiny. Many alien creatures and some Taoists took the opportunity to counterattack and got some shares. This was the future of the heavens and worlds. Then the Tao Ancestor took action, giving up half of the destiny, and opened up a starry sky. , is a place outside the world, called the Sea of ​​Chaos, which is inaccessible to the strongest, and has become a place where the weak thrive. "

"It is said that when the Sea of ​​Chaos was opened, a fragment of the law of time and space of the great universe fell into it, so the flow rate of time there is quite different from that of the great universe."

Speaking of this, Kuang Yuanshan couldn't help but sigh: "It is said that Daozu has been missing for a long time, perhaps because of the great catastrophe, and now he no longer knows where he is."

The catastrophe of the Qi Refiner was really too fatal.

Chu Zheng had heard a little bit about the great battle in the last years of Taikoo, but he didn't know much about it.

But there is not much point in pursuing the truth now.

After coming back to his senses, Chu Zheng's eyes flashed slightly and he asked, "Have your Taoist friends ever heard of the name of Taoist Master Zhengchu?"

"Master Zhengchu Dao?"

Kuang Yuanshan was stunned for a moment, and after thinking carefully for a moment, he shook his head and said:

"Within the Dao Sect, all the channels combined, there are only ten Dao Lords in total. There is absolutely no such person's name."

"Is it possible that he is a person from the past? He has just been forgotten?" Chu Zheng asked, feeling a little uneasy. The temple in the big tomb had always made him a little uneasy.

If Zhengchu Daojun once appeared, then there must be some unknown connection between Zhengchu Daojun, him and Daozu.

"Being revered as a Dao Lord, I think he has entered the realm of eternal myths, so there will be legends about him everywhere. It is impossible for him to be forgotten."

Kuang Yuanshan thought for a while and said with some uncertainty: "Unless this so-called Taoist Lord is not a member of the Taoist sect, or is a figure who existed before the ancient times."
